Arteta reveals Arsene Wenger offer
Mikel Arteta says that he has held talks with the legendary former manager over the possibility of returning to Arsenal. Mikel Arteta played under Arsene Wenger until 2018 when the French tactician decided to walk away from the club. The former manager now works as FIFA’s chief of global football development.

The pair had a face to face during the premier of Wenger’s new film, ‘Arsene Wenger: Invincible’. “It was incredibly pleasant to see him and chat to him – and hopefully we can bring him close,” Arteta said on Thursday. “Because I think he will have a great time just seeing the environment that he can create around him [and] around this place.

Tottenham suffer Mura humiliation
Antonio Conte could only watch in horror as Tottenham suffered a shock 2-1 loss to little known Mura. When Tottenham players arrived in Slovenia, they might have been forgiven for being slightly relaxed about their upcoming UEFA Conference League match against Mura. Mura is a team based in a small town in Slovenia and has a population of 11,000. The club wasn’t even in existence ten years ago. They entered the competition as lowest ranked team in the tournament so they were expected to be considered the proverbial whipping boys. However, little did Tottenham know that they would be in for a fight of their lives as the players entered the Fazanerija stadium whose seating arrangement would be easily swallowed by the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Antonio Conte’s men were reduced to ten men...
